Air travelers in San Francisco, rejoice: You can now relax between the dreaded security pat-down and the slow shuffle onboard your flight. San Francisco International Airport has set up a yoga room that includes a soothing blue light and loaner floor mats, MSNBC reports. “The room gives modern travelers a space that fosters and supports quiet and reflection," says the room's design director. "Those aren’t emotions that people typically encounter at the airport."

Early kudos are coming in for the sanctum in Terminal 2: "Relax passengers between flights? ... How wonderful!" says a nurse consultant on JetwithComfort. A blogger on Yogadork even expresses some East Coast envy: "Now if only Jetblue would incorporate inflight asana and chai breaks. JFK, your move." For those who prefer to save the lotus position for back home, SFO also offers a quiet "reflection room" (no floor sitting) and, of course, the usual airport bars.

I cannot think of a single thing wrong with this idea. I hope to see yoga and quiet rooms in other airports ASAP.

If your in an airport getting ready to fly-i would say they need a prayer room. Then do some workouts' and have some rooms where people can really nap if needed,instead of all over the chairs and floor.They pay a good price to be treated right.People need better then this.
